Everyone's favourite TV tech support site, http://www.expertsexchange.com/

The rest, from http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_news/news_fun_urls.htm:

http://www.kidsexchange.com/ - Kids clothing
http://www.whorepresents.com/ - Celebrity agents
http://www.therapistfinder.com/ - Site to find therapists
http://www.powergenitalia.com/ - Italian power generator supplier

I thought I was going to visit the site of a Bank in South America called "Banco Micsans"

At least they aren't offering expert sex changes

Cute URLs suck balls. There's only one acceptable URL service, and it changes the totally lame http://www.expertsexchange.com/ into a much more awesome www.freakinghugeurl.com/refer.php?count=4&url=VjFaV2IxVXdNVWhVYTFacFRURndUbFJVU2xKb GJIQkpZWHBHYVZJeFdrcFZWekUwWVcxS2MxTnFXbGhpU jJoMldWY3hS MU5HU25WV2JVWk9Za1paZUZZeFVrcE9WMUpHWlVST1VWWkVRVGs9

Indeed. I'm not giving up my SoCuteUrl; the links come out a bit longer, but oh so lovely! For example, who would not prefer http://www.socuteurl.com/coozzypumpkins over http://www.ExpertSexChange.com?

Usenet is more or less dead with respect to technical discussions. They have all moved to disparate Web forums, the most offensive of which put freely-given advice from volunteers behind a paywall.

There actually are a couple of good forums for Win32 advice, such as CodeProject, and Google is still the best way by far to search MSDN, by adding site:microsoft.com to your query.

But Google's handling of Usenet, including (but not limited to) their unauthorized alteration of message content by mangling email addresses, has not been healthy for the venue.

i should hope so! our corporate firewall blocks http://www.expertsexchange.com/

Also, historical examples Expert's Exchange and its cousin Children's Exchange.

http://www.nystopchildporn.com/ - is that like http://www.expertsexchange.com/ or http://www.kidsexchange.com/ before they added their hyphens?

Or are they trying to lure in the kiddie-porn people, hoping they'll be looking for New York'S Top Child Porn?

[galacticabbs.com]

Ok, my bad, I clicked the link but I was extremely puzzled for a few minutes trying to figure out why someone named the site Galactic Abbs dot com... the page was clearly dedicated to Battlestar Galactica and I was imagining some fan with a fixation on sexy (male?) abdominal muscles of actors on the show.

It was a creepy minute or two, half afraid of what answers I might find on the front page of the site.

And on that note, here are a couple (current and former) genuine website addresses:
Whore Presents .com [live site]
Expert Sex Change .com [former real site, now spam parked]
PenisLand .net [live site]
The Rapist Finder .com [live site]
PowerGenitalia .com [former real site, now dead link]
Got A Hoe .com [now redirects to new name]
Molestation Nursery .com [former real site, now dead link]
Cumming First .com [live site]

And my personal favorite,
Speedo Fart .com [live site]

A spoiler list for those who can't figure out why those web names were selected:
Who Represents [look up the agent for a given actor].
Experts Exchange.
Pen Island [selling custom pens].
Therapist Finder.
Power Gen[eration, company nationality of] Italia.
[town of] Mole Station[, plant] Nursery.
Go Tahoe [Lake Tahoe Tourism Bureau].
Cumming First is, well, Cumming First. Cumming First United Methodist Church. Yeah.
and Speed Of Art [the self promotional site of an art director who thinks wrapping his entire front page in a BLINK tag is a swell idea. Yeah, Art Director. If you don't see blinking text, thank your browser for protecting you from that particular pain].

Well, we still have expertsexchange.com.

After all, you wouldn't want a novice performing that operation, would you?

You forgot to hyperlink it
